Celerant Technology has promoted Michele Salerno to the newly created position of chief growth officer. Salerno is now responsible for strategic partnership development, market expansion and revenue acceleration to drive sustainable business growth.
Focusing on forging new retail relationships and building on client retention while strengthening Celerant’s partner network, Salerna will also oversee the company’s overall marketing strategy to reinforce its retail point of sale and technology solutions.
“I have worked with Michele for 20 years and few people have her experience in this industry,” said Ian Goldman, president and CEO of Celerant. “Her boundless energy and ability to forge long-term relationships make her a perfect fit for the new chief growth officer role. With growth so tightly coupled with many of our partners, Michele is poised to spur tremendous growth in our company.”
Celerant reported in a media release that Salerno brings nearly two decades of leadership to this role.”Her relationship-focused approach drives success across all aspects of the business, from energizing sales and marketing teams to expanding the company’s retail footprint and forging strategic partnerships,” said Celerant.
A Cum Laude graduate of the City University of New York with dual concentrations in marketing and management, Salerno “continues to leverage her expertise to grow Celerant’s market presence and foster meaningful industry connections,” continued the company.
“This transition feels like it naturally evolves from my work over the years,” said Salerno. “While my foundation lies in sales-driven marketing strategy, I’ve expanded my focus to building strategic partnerships that fuel our expansion. Growth means conquering new markets and deepening our existing client relationships. Having started at Celerant fresh out of college nearly two decades ago, I’ve grown alongside the company. I’m thrilled to take on this new challenge and lead our next chapter of growth.”
Celerant offers two point-of-sale retail platforms that provide a range of functionalities and benefits for retailers across a wide array of industries—Cumulus Retail, a SaaS solution for small-to-medium retailers, and Stratus Enterprise, a comprehensive solution with advanced and custom functionalities.
